Dogfish Head "Brew Masters" The Lost Epsoide

 Here's the last episode of Dogfish Head's "Brew Masters" hosted by Sam Calagione. This was to be the 6th episode in the series, which was abruptly canceled by the Discovery Channel after only 5 shows. Controversy surrounded the cancellation. Discovery Channel representatives would claim low ratings for "Brew Masters" as the reason for the canceling the show. A more accurate assessment would support rumors of the undue pressure from Discovery Channel's advertisers, i.e. Macro Breweries, as the real reason for the shows demise.

"Three Beers for Batali", which never aired, documents Sam's collaborative journey to create uniquely crafted beers for renowned chef Mario Batali's latest restaurant venture "Eataly", located in New York city. This journey took Sam to Italy where he created and brewed with the visionaries at the forefront of Italian craft brewing. In this episode we also get a glimpse into Dogfish Head's recent multimillion dollar brewery expansion.

So, without further ado I give you  "Three Beers for Batali"...... and Cheers!

Del Norte Brewing Shuts Down

 Del Norte Brewing, from Denver, CO. announced via facebook that they would be closing their doors. Del Norte prided itself  on being "the first and only brewery in the United States to brew only authentic Mexican-style lager beers". Founded in 2007 their portfolio consisted of four beers brewed in what they called the "Latin American / Tropical Lager" tradition. In that short time Del Norte grew from a small 11bbl brewery to one that was available in Alaska, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming.
In Celebration of  Lager Day we say thanks to Del Norte for being part of the "Better Beer" community.

From Facebook, dated Dec 5, 2012.....

 "Friends and Fans - After 5 years of brewing our award-winning beers, Del Norte Brewing Co. has made the difficult business decision to wrap up operations. We want to thank all of you for your support and encouragement. We look forward to enjoying the great beers made by our fellow brewers and growing the friendships we've developed through Del Norte. Salud!"
